Request to makers of add-ons

Hi,
I really enjoy looking at software and appreciating the work the authors put in to their products.
The same goes for all the helpful add-ons that are written for Livecode.
I have quite a few and really appreciate their utility.
But I have one request for authors of add-ons that require the installation of a library or "engine" in our projects.
Please put a check in your demo/help/install stacks that check for the presence of the library BEFORE trying to load another copy.
There seems to be a bug in either the way Livecode handles this situation or how the add-on is responding to it.
LC throws up a warning of an existing stack of that name (the library) but gets stuck in an endless loop trying to resolve it regardless of one's response to the warning ( be it purge, save or cancel.)
I can only assume that LC does its thing but is then thrown back by the add-on trying to do its thing.

James
